Hey Jill, I would have thought you guys were more similar to our temps in CV up the canyon where you live... Guess you are CV plus the greenhouse... Glad you had a great year... Are you still doing the bale gardening? Kind of amazing that works as well as it does... I keep thinking that would be a great way to do potatoes... except it would take a lot of bales to raise enough for a family winter supply... did you ever grow garlic in the bales? Might be a good way to grow big garlic heads...
Well ran out to the GH at lunch and it froze the tomato in the GH last night, not a kill frost, but rolled the outer leaves... Guess Thursday or Friday will finish everything off they are still predicting 15 degrees, so 8 colder than last night will really put a hurt on things up this way... But it sure has been a great fall for us, we usually freeze out a lot earlier than this year... Guess that is why it seemed like such a shock to turn this cold all at once... Probably just normal temps, but since we were used to the 70's it seemed like a big change...
We need to get a response from the deer hunters and see if they are seeing any ice on the high country lakes yet.... You know somebody usually gets first ice by Halloween most years... only a week away... Later J

When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
